Canning, Peter


There was great sadness in Trim and across the wider county, following the death on 27th January last of Peter Canning, who 40 years ago established the well-known drapery on Emmet Street in the town. Peter, a native of Leitrim, was a lifelong supporter of GAA football and hurling at all levels, and was a regular attendee at matches in Trim. He rarely missed a Meath game in Croke Park, and earned a reputation as a memory man due to his vast knowledge of players and teams dating back to the 1950s.  May he rest in peace.
